Residential Solar Energy | Gilroy, CA

Solar panels are covered in photovoltaic cells (PV). These PV cells absorb the sun's rays (radiation). During the process, the photons release the electrons from the atoms to create a unidirectional flow or direct current (DC) electricity. The DC electricity is converted to an alternating current or AC electricity used to power homes and businesses.

DID YOU KNOW: According to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, homes with solar panels sell roughly 20% faster and for about 17% more than those without solar energy systems. The precise degree of ROI in terms of property value is hard to be general about.

We need to access your home, your system, and many other variables to get the answers. Generally speaking, a fully-functioning solar system is increasingly valuable to homeowners.

The average break-even period on solar is about eight years. This depends on factors such as your usage and the system’s complexity. Breaking even can range to as little as five years, and pricier systems can be as much as 15.
